Correction: the problem persists in PHP 4.3.3RC3 with
the (mac) Safari browser, but works in (mac) IE 5.2.3.
Until further browser testing, I'll consider this
"bogus", assuming it's a browser issue with Safari
only.

Actually, the first rule of submitting a bug is "check
the database first", but point taken.

This problem still occurs with PHP 4.3.3RC3 on my
machine, despite your results. See (http://
dev.dadaimc.org/test.php for test form and phpinfo()
output)

The CVS snapshot (php4-200308111530) refuses to make on
my machine, generating an error near the end (see
below), so I can't test the CVS version:

/home/spud/src/php4-200308111530/ext/standard/
filestat.c:575: undefined reference to
`php_check_open_basedir_ex'

Works fine with latest CVS (and with PHP 4.3.3RC3 too)
Bogusing since you failed the first rule of submitting a bug report:
Try the latest CVS snapshot first.

Description:
------------
On a standard form upload, if the user uploads a file
with a name like "épice.jpg" (with an acute accent on
the e), PHP reports the $_FILES[0]['name'] as "foo_e",
dropping the accent and ALL following characters,
including the suffix.

I understand the perhaps the file upload can't handle
the accented characters, but it seems incorrect to
strip off the rest of the filename, including
characters that are still legitimate.

I don't know if this is a PHP bug or not, but it seems
very limiting for non-English file uploads, where
accented characters in a filename are common.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Example: with a page like

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<form action="test.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="upload">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>

<?
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
print_r($_FILES);
}
?>

upload a file named "épice.jpg", and PHP will report the filename as
"e".

Expected result:
----------------
I expect $_FILES[0]['name'] to be "épice.jpg", or at
least "epice.jpg".

Actual result:
--------------
Filename reported as "e".
